Baozhen Fortress
宝箴塞
A nationally protected heritage site, a mountaintop fortress built by the wealthy Duan family of eastern Sichuan in the early Republic period. It is a filming location for Let the Bullets Fly.
Baozhen Fortress is located in Baozhen Township, Wusheng County. It was built around 1911 by the Duan family on a mountain ridge and has two parts: a defensive fortress and a residential courtyard mansion. Stone walls surround the mountaintop, with firing ports and gun platforms along them. The site is well preserved and is regarded as a model of combined residential and defensive architecture in eastern Sichuan. Some scenes from the film Let the Bullets Fly were shot here. Admission costs about 35 yuan, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours. It is about 30 km from Wusheng County town and about 80 km from Guang'an city, and it can be combined with a day trip to Yankou Ancient Town.
